Basic Life Skills

Personal Hygiene Care

Equity Nepal provides guidance on personal hygiene routines, such as bathing, grooming, dental care, and maintaining cleanliness, to promote overall well-being and self-confidence.

We use touch and discuss the feel of a hairbrush, toothbrush, moist and dry goods (towels, soap, sponges), and soap lather to enhance finger sensitivity.

Kitchen Skills

We teach skills such as basic cooking techniques, meal planning, and nutrition education. Children learn how to prepare nutritious meals, handle kitchen utensils safely, and gain confidence in their culinary abilities.

Clothing Care

Here, we provide training to children in essential clothing care skills, including laundry techniques, and basic fixing. Children learn how to properly care for their garments, ensuring longevity.

Smartphone Training

Using a phone might be challenging for someone who is blind or visually impaired. Fortunately, there are visually impaired-friendly apps and features that allow the visually impaired to call and use a phone. We assist the children in using the important features of the mobile device.

Mobility Training

Equity Nepal provides mobility training to visually impaired people with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are essential for safe and efficient independent movement and that are appropriate to the learner.

Aside from improving their mobility, it also contributes to the development of living skills, strengthening our children’s independence. Our mobility sessions can also help children with:

  • Experiencing a range of motions, such as walking, running, jumping
  • Understanding how various parts of the body move
  • Learning to use senses like touch, hearing, taste and smell
  • Using mobility aids, such as a long cane, a walker or wheelchair.
  • Establishing a sense of directional and positional concepts such as learning your left from right, in front, behind, beside, under etc
  • Understanding road safety and using public transport
  • Developing visual and listening skills to identify traffic movement and potential hazards
